Languages of Men & Women.

For this weeks blog, week 7, I decided to work on identifying the differences between the way men and women use language. In this blog I am planning on explaining what I believe the differences in not only how men and women use the language but also the tone, words, facial expressions, and everything else that goes along with having a conversation. Most women, when they speak, all have the tendency to have the same patterns of speech or similarities. In my opinion women, it happens more in mother's than just any in general, have a nuturing kind of tone that goes along with their voice. It is very common in all women, normally, to have a softer sort of tone but at the same time they have a higher pitch to their voice. The easiest way to describe it would be to say that it is more of a feminine type of voice. Another thing that is very significant with women is that they tend to speak with their heart as in they speak with the highest tintention of not offending anybody. Women do not like to be hurt with words or actions so they try not to hurt anybody else's feelings. But at the same time we tend to just speak out and not think of what we said until after we say it. Women tend to project their feelings not only through facial expressions but also through their body language. Women, in my opinion, have an easy to read sort of body language. But then again it may just be because I know what I do personally depending on how i am feeling at that moment or how i am just feeling in general. Women speak with there bodies and looks, as in facial expressions, more than their words. When they are mad they tend to give you like this evil death ray kind of look. It pretty much says that they want to kill you with their eyes. Also with this they have their arms crossed in frustration. there are just so many different techniques to understanding the woman language.
But then on the other side of language you have men. As confusing as they seem, they really are not that different from women. Well they are but not really. While women tend to blurt out the answer to anybody's question men tend to sit a allow their answer to maranade. They take their time responding to a question and in most cases they are only like a one or two word response. While women on the other hand like to drag on the answer and give every detail they want to, even if it is not necessary. Men have more of a masculine voice. And by this i mean they have a deeper and lower voice than women normally do. Of course there are some exceptions for both men and women but for a moment we will just include them into these two groups. men are more subtle with their emotions. Most of the time they would be quiet when they are upset which is the complete opposite of some women. You do not really know what is going through a man's head because unlike women they do not like to share their feelings or problems. Men and women both differ in their use of a language. Whether it is with their tone, words or just the language in general. We were made to be different so just embrace it. No matter how upsetting it is.

  1. Good blog Valerie! I also chose the same topic so it was interesting to see your take on it too. I noticed that we included some of the same gestures like crossing arms and how men like to hide their emotions. Your blog actually made me think about how you said that men like to sit and dwell on their answers. I realize that it's the same about their emotions and that women tend to love to jump the gun a little too quickly for instance look at high school. There were so many girls that loved to blurt out answers right when the question was asked, some guys, but mainly girls. The boys had to be more prompted to answer questions even if they knew the answer in the first place. It makes me wonder why this is the way it is. Why is it that men take more time to think than women? I also agree with you about how you said that women tend to be more in touch with their emotions and speak with their heart. I completely agree, but I also think that it's because we have those maternal instincts. We have to balance out the men by bringing some emotion into the relationship and into life. In a sense men to us and we teach them. They teach us to think before we talk and we teach them that they need to speak with their heart a little more!
